Evaluation of underwater 3D reconstruction methods for Archaeological Objects: Case study of Anchor at Mediterranean Sea

摘要

The objective of this paper is to develop 3D underwater reconstruction of archeology object, which is based on a mono-camera. The underwater images are obtained from a calibrated camera system. We first solve the problem of image processing by applying the well-known filter, therefore to improve quality of underwater images. The features of interest between image pairs are selected by well-known methods: a FAST detector and FLANN descriptor. Subsequently, the RANSAC method is applied to reject outlier points. The putative inliers are matched by triangulation to produce sparse point clouds in 3D space, using a pinhole camera model and Euclidean distance estimation.
